"Porter's Bill." i Tatt contended that the committee had revised his manufacturer's pric ing formula to such an extort that the measure "now is Porter's bill."

I Taft had insisted th?\t producers, i manufacturers and processors should he entitled to their prices during a j pic-war base period, plus average unit cost rises s'neo. The commit jtee accepted that general formula, but I under Barkley s leadership hedged it 1 in with restrictions obnoxious to Taft.
